Graham Gooch was talking on a West Ham UTD podcast. Apparently confirmed Essex are looking to play 4/5 T20 games at the Olympic Stadium in 2017. Drop in pitch to be used.

Interesting. I suspect that really does signal the end of festival cricket in Essex

Or the restart...

Members should get in free then as there would be no excuse to charge as at present.

2017... I wonder if that ties in with a temporary closure of the ECG, necessitated by the ground development?

What 'ground development'?
Indeed, wasn't the East era development proposal predicated upon T20 corporate hospitality at Chelmsford. IF ECCC take some T20 matches to QEOP, the requirement for the scaled-down redevelopment plan would become superfluous, surely. (Indeed, the cynical amongst us may suggest this would suit ECCC ideally, then they could just abandon any spectator redevelopment pretence and concentrate on more eyesore apartment blocks.) The Club would also be paying rather a high rental. Tax payers and green eyed Premier league competitors already believe WHUFC have gotten something for virtually nothing, so a 'sweetheart' deal for No Change Essex is highly unlikely.
-
When the ground development was first proposed, some of the leading lights behind it were getting positively excited about the banqueting suite.
If the banqueting suite at Stratford is bigger and better. Oh dear.
-
We really do need the club to make an official statement on what is going on; all of these media stories are not helping one bit.

Members will need to shell out for transport costs so a quid-pro-quo should be in order.
They will more than recoup the money with the extra pissheads in attendance.
-
This is getting far, far beyond a joke.It is becoming difficult (I'm a kindly sort of bloke) to believe a word coming out of the County as regards the development.
-
Looks like the T20 is still on for the OS.
Interesting that they would have a "practice match" next year? How much will that cost!
And what about franchise cricket - that will put pay to the idea!

It's gonna happen. The financial numbers are too big for it not to. Just think ...
...
20,000 people paying an average of £20. Plus the food/drink sales. Plus corporate hospitality.
Telephone numbers.
Cricket as a sport where there are many variations between bat and ball over a long period ... is dead.
Baseball UK-style here we come.

Trouble is t20 isn't even as good as baseball.

no, it's miles better

Speaking from a position of ignorance.
As per usual.

........"position of ignorance"......
YOU ARE SO RUDE, i happen to prefer T20 to baseball and you then you have the audacity to call me ignorant.
Thee really is no need for personal insults. I have my personal view and in this case i can say that i much prefer an English game to an American one. I do actually know something about T20. I know little about American rounders, but i don't like it. I do like T20, is that an offence in your opinion? Don't bother to reply, as i can see what you are like from that initial uncalled for rude response

I think that Happyman is one of the players on a wind up and having a bit of fun.

how could possibly think that , you rude sir

Interesting theory, there was no play at Cheltenham at the time he did his last post.

Always cheerful. I'm convinced. Reveal yourself Mr Napes.

If he's that bright and cheerful, does it mean that Napes is a member of the Illuminati?

if you don't know much about baseball don't call it rounders as that is the kind of derogatory comment you complain about from others. Baseball hasn't devalued itself in order to appeal to people who don't like it. If this week's Open Golf became a pitch and putt tournament or Euro 2016 a five a side jolly would we be told it was progress and a valid development?

I would remind posters of the forum rules to be polite ...

The greatness of cricket is that it can be played over any length of time and still be basically the same game with bat, ball, stumps and bails. There never has been just one format to the game and long may that continue. And it's the willingness to try new things like t20 that develops new skills and techniques benefitting all formats. As for baseball, I've watched it in Melbourne Park while walking the dog. The batters fail to put bat to ball even more than Mickleburgh. Not the game for me but each to his own as they say.

probably not the standard of baseball I was thinking of.
-
Lets beg to differ Jimmy, i hate baseball and would never watch it i do like T20. But i don't mind anyone else loving Baseball and not liking T20, everyone to their own.
PS referring Baseball to rounders, (which i used to love to play) is some thing i have heard before and is of course not meant to be insulting in any way to baseball lovers and should not be taken that way
